Programs at the centre

Playgroups at the Brotherhood are safe and stimulating environments for children, helping them to grow in all areas of development. They also give parents a welcoming space to share advice and build relationships with other families.

The program aims to help parents from refugee, asylum seeker and migrant backgrounds to become more involved with their child’s education. It also helps schools build stronger connections with children's parents.

Saver Plus assists families on low incomes to develop a savings habit, build assets and improve financial capability. When they reach their goal, ANZ matches their savings, dollar for dollar, up to $500.
